New Hot Makeup: Hourglass Cosmetics’ Fall 2010 launches – Film Noir Full Spectrum Mascara and a brand new lipstick collection – Femme Rouge Velvet Crème Lipstick. Both were a collaboration between Hourglass founder Carisa Janes and Artistic Director Gina Brooke. In case you are not familiar with Gina, she is Madonna’s uber-talented makeup artist and has worked with a lot of other A-list celebrities such as Anne Hathaway and Naomi Campbell.

Femme Rouge Velvet Crème Lipstick ($30/each) is a collection of 12 gorgeous shades of hydrating lipsticks that are paraben-free. Each lipstick features an embossed Hourglass icon and comes in an engraved case that is refillable. Shades include vibrant reds, creamy nudes, hot pinks and more.

Film Noir Full Spectrum Mascara ($28) adds instant drama to lashes without clumping or flaking. Lashes become extra volumized and long for a sultry look.

Both recently launched on HourglassCosmetics.com and will be available in the coming weeks at Barneys, Sephora and Sephora.com.

On Friday, September 10th, 2010, Hourglass will host a “Runway to Realway” Fashion’s Night Out event at the Sephora store in New York City’s Union Square. Artistic Director Gina Brooke and a team of makeup artists will create a performance art, avant-garde makeup show featuring the Fall 2010 collection, followed by consultations and Q&A. The event will take place from 5:00 pm – 10:00 pm, with Gina’s performance at 7:00 pm. Amazing!

Summer is right around the corner and everyone is looking for the perfect bronzer to create a luscious brown tan. Hourglass Cosmetics is launching a brand new product for summer, Illume Crème-to-Powder Bronzer Duo in Sunset ($40), a bronzer and blush in our gorgeous, signature swivel compact. Paraben, fragrance, oil and wax free, Illume’s formula creates a soft, velvet finish and stays fresh on skin all day without blotching or streaking. It also features vitamins A & E to provide moisturizing and antioxidant benefits.

Additionally, Hourglass is adding a shade to Illusion Tinted Moisturizer ($55) –  their lightest yet, Shell.
